De Falla: Suite Populaire Espagnole

This suite, composed by Manuel de Falla in 1914 and arranged by Paul Kochanski for violin and piano, comprises a set of traditional songs from various regions of Spain. They encompass a variety of moods, from a peaceful lullaby in Nana to a wild dance in Polo. The first and sixth pieces, El Pano Moruno and Jota, are especially familiar and often used as exam or audition pieces.
